Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
After the Cold War, NATO did not only disappear, but it also enlarged. Although the CSDP is on the agenda, it has not made significant progress in terms of assets and capabilities. For the study on the relationship between the two, most current studies are based on realism. Starting from the perspective of constructivism, this paper used documentary analysis to review the normative history of NATO and the history of the normative development of the CSDP, and found that the core political norms and security norms of the two are completely consistent. Finally, it concludes that the NATO norms influence …

The Impacts Of Us Macroeconomic Announcements On Thai Bond Markets, Jaturapat Thanaboot
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study investigates the impact of US macroeconomic announcements both in terms of announcement day and surprise on Thai bond markets. More specifically, this paper analyses the different impacts of 16 US macroeconomic announcements on Thai bond markets.

Furthermore, after separating between types of US macroeconomic announcements, US inflation announcement days seem raise Thai bond market volatility while most of the negative US macroeconomic …

Equity Term Structure Of Property Funds And Reits In Thailand, Chenchai Chotchuangnava
Equity Term Structure Of Property Funds And Reits In Thailand, Chenchai Chotchuangnava
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
The equity term structure of property funds and REITs in Thailand is upward-sloping. This result contradicts with various studies suggesting that the term structure of risk premia is decreasing. A tenet of those studies is that, by holding long-term equity, investors are willing to forego a part of the compensation to avoid immediate risks which seems to be reverse for property funds and REITs in Thailand. There is evidence that the correlation between size and return is positive. Unlike U.S. REIT, the momentum factor has no application to explain the difference in excess returns. High turnover property funds and REITs …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
How corporate governance mechanism helps prevent underperformance of acquiring firms is controversial, especially with little evidence in Asia-Pacific literature. I examined how shareholder involvement by means of mandatory shareholder voting (class 1) and required information disclosure (class 2) under the SET’s Acquisition and Disposition Rule affected the market reaction on mergers and acquisitions. I did not find significant differences in the CARs among transaction classes with different degree of shareholder involvement. The results were consistent both in univariate and multivariate analysis which deal- and firm-level factors are controlled. I investigated further and found that concentrated ownership in Thai firms did …

The Flow-Performance Relationship Of Etfs In International Market, Thaweeporn Krailaksanawarapar
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This paper uses sample from 15 countries from different regions around the world to examine how past performance of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) impact on their fund flow in the following period. Piecewise-linear regression following (Sirri & Tufano, 1998) which allow past performance to be non-linear are employed in the model to examine the different sensitivity of past performance ranking to flow. The evidence confirms that past bad-performing ETFs associate with outflow and past good-performing ETFs associate with inflow in the following period. Furthermore, I also find that investors are more sensitive to bad performers than good performers suggesting that there …

Characteristic Approach To High Risk Low Return Puzzle In Set, Putchara Poomgumarn
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Theoretically investing in high risk asset generates high return. However, actual payoff in market is in the opposite side. In several empirical studies documented high risk stocks paid low return even lower than the portfolio of the lowest volatile stocks. I examine whether the cause of this anomaly is the lottery stocks. Lottery stocks which are low price, high skewness and high kurtosis might be desired by many investors even institutional investors. The assumption is that this high demand of lottery stocks might push the price up and cause low average return finally. Therefore, I set up the hypothesis these …

Costly Signal In Open Market Repurchase: Evidence In Thailand, Thanawat Anavachapongpan
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Several studies argue that open market share repurchase has the lowest power to signal the inside information to the market. In this study I explore the market reaction to the announcement of stock repurchase plan with the firm’s characters argued in prior literature that they can increase the market confident. Referred from prior literatures, the stated motivation in the press release, insider “BUY” prior announcement, percentage of majority shareholder, and the amount of repurchasing plan are introduced to reflect the level of information signal sent by management. I find that investors have skepticism with an information sent via open market …

Moreover, this paper finds investment implication of creating abnormal returns from TPER trading strategy in Thailand stock market.

Is There Risk Reduction In Conglomerate Acquisition?, Paskamon Luntavanich
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study examines risk effect in conglomerate acquisitions through portfolio diversification framework. We find that based on asset diversification potential, acquirers’ risks are expected to decline when they engage in diversifying acquisitions. Interestingly, our result suggests that focus acquisitions are also associated with firms’ risk decrease. With this finding, it indicates that asset diversification potential is also pronounced even when the two assets, i.e., firms from similar industry are combined together. In addition, our results suggest that risks are expected to decline more when diversified firms make further diversifying acquisitions than focus acquisitions but this evidence could not be observed …

These findings are consistent with previous study of O’Neal (1997), Potter (2001) and Lhabitant …

Bond Market Reaction Surrounding Share Repurchase Announcement, Phasaporn Kitjakarnkoson
Bond Market Reaction Surrounding Share Repurchase Announcement, Phasaporn Kitjakarnkoson
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
I reexamine the bond market reaction to share repurchase announcement. The wealth transfer hypothesis suggests that shareholders expropriate wealth from debtholders hence the debtholders should react negative to this news. I collect daily yield-to-maturity of corporate bond during 2005-2019 to calculate excess change in bond yield spread and classify bond characteristics into five subsamples which are sensitive to the wealth redistribution effect: payment rank, issuer rating, bond rating, bond maturity, and size of repurchase. However, I do not find evidence supporting wealth redistribution effect in all bond attributes. Moreover, firm ratings of repurchasing firms are less likely to be downgraded …
